Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structural element, in particular to a furniture element, and particularly preferably to a kitchen furniture element.
  • Furniture elements for kitchens are known in numerous different embodiments, for example as floor units, wall units or also as tall units. They typically comprise a carcass which is closable by a door or flap or in which a plurality of drawers are received.
  • the structural element has at least two frame elements as well as at least one connection part by which the frame elements are connected, with the frame elements spanning a space whose shape depends on the angle between the frame elements.
  • Structural elements can be provided in different shapes and sizes due to the shape and length of the connection part and/or of the frame elements as well as by the angle the two frame elements include between them.
  • the angle can be fixed, i.e. not variable, or can also be variable on an embodiment of the connection part as a hinge.
  • connection parts can be connected to the frame elements such that they are not adjustable relative to the connection parts. Provision is made alternatively to this that the connection part is configured as a hinge, which means that the frame elements can positioned at different angles relative to one another.
  • brace within the framework of the present invention generally means a connection part by means of which the frame elements can be fixed in different positions so that different angles can be set between the frame elements.
  • connection parts and the frame elements can be fixedly (non-releasably) or releasably connected to one another.
  • connection parts and the frame elements can be configured as single-part elements, i.e. can comprise one and the same part, or can also be formed from a plurality of parts (connection part, on the one hand, frame element, on the other hand) which are connected to one another by suitable connection means. It is e.g. conceivable in the latter case that the frame elements are released from the connection part and are replaced with frame elements having different dimensions, colors, etc.
  • the structural element is designed with at least two frame elements as well as with at least one hinge as a connection part by means of which the frame elements are pivotable with respect to one another or are positionable at different angles relative to one another.
  • At least one connection means can furthermore be provided which has at least one first section, which is connected to the connection part or hinge and which is movable relative to the connection part or the hinge in at least one operating state, and which has at least one second section which is connected to the frame element.
  • connection means is preferably rotatable relative to the base body of the hinge, i.e. is movable in the peripheral direction of the base body. This can be achieved, for example, in that at least one groove is arranged in the base body in which the at least one connection means runs. It is also conceivable that the one or more connection means are arranged at a peripheral element such as a ring or the like which is rotatable relative to the base body. An alignment of the connection means relative to the base body is also conceivable in this manner.
  • the two frame elements are at an angle of 90° to one another or are also pivoted with respect to each other such that acute and obtuse angles are present between them. It is also conceivable to fold the structural element together such that it is as space-saving as possible in that the frame elements contact one another largely or completely, which can be meaningful, for example, as part of transport or storage.
  • the hinge or joint in accordance with the invention can displace the frame element or elements along the groove or the like, preferably along the periphery of the base body, and to fix it or them at the desired position.
  • the angle between two frame elements can thus, for example, be adjusted to 90° or also to a smaller or larger angle. If the structural element should be folded together, it is conceivable to reduce the angle such that the frame elements contact one another or have a comparatively small spacing from one another. It is conceivable by the provision of a groove that the frame elements can be fixed in any desired positions and not only in specific positions in the groove so that any desired angles can accordingly also be set between the frame elements.
  • the hinge has preferred positions in which the frame elements can be fixed relative to the hinge.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises the frame elements not being movable relative to the connection part, i.e. either fixedly connected thereto as is e.g. the case with an embodiment in one piece, or being able to be installed only at exactly one position at the connection part so that the angle between the frame elements is fixedly predefined.
  • the groove is preferably designed as peripheral, but can also only be partially present, i.e. does not extend all about the base body.
  • the groove preferably has at least one opening through which the connection means can be introduced into the groove.
  • the opening is dimensioned such that the first section of the connection means can be introduced through this opening into the groove. If the connection means in the groove is moved away from the opening, it is held by the groove in a shape-matched manner in the radial direction of the hinge, but is movable along the groove prior to the installation of the frame element.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a structural element having the features herein.
  • This structural element in particular a furniture element and particularly preferably a kitchen furniture element, has at least one frame which has at least two limbs extending from top to bottom and preferably vertically, with one or more struts extending between these limbs whose upper side is inclined relative to the horizontal or whose upper side extends horizontally.
  • These struts preferably extend along one or more outer sides of the structural element, with provision preferably being made that the surface is remote from the outer side, i.e. faces toward or is inclined toward the interior of the structural element.
  • the term “strut” is to be understood generally and comprises any desired element which extends between the vertical limbs.
  • the struts can be formed as plates, profiles, runners, rods, etc.
  • the struts serve as a support for any desired functional elements such as drawers, shelves or any other desired storage shelves.
  • the functional elements have counter-surfaces which lies on the struts and which preferably extends in parallel with the surface of the struts.
  • the structural element has at least two frame elements as well as at least one hinge by means of which the frame elements can be positioned at different angles relative to one another or that the structural element has at least two frame elements as well as at least one connection part by means of which the frame elements are connected fixedly and cannot be positioned at different angles with respect to one another.
  • the frame elements span a space whose shape depends on the angle between the frame elements.
  • the structural element in accordance with claim 5 can be configured with further features, i.e., have at least one connection part or hinge.
  • the strut can be fixedly arranged at the limbs or such that the strut is displaceable along the limbs or can be otherwise positioned at a plurality of different positions of the limbs. It is, for example, conceivable that the limbs have a groove which extends in the longitudinal direction of the limbs and that the strut(s) has/have a projection which runs in the groove.
  • the structural element has a first side and a preferably oppositely disposed second side such as a right outer side and a left outer side and that at least one respective strut is located both on the first side and on the second side, with the struts being aligned such that their upper sides inclined relative to the horizontal face toward the inner side of the structural element.
  • the structural element can thus, for example, have a respective one or more struts at its right side and at its left side which face one another such that the perpendicular lines respectively extending from surfaces of the struts arranged at the right and left each intersect.
  • the struts can generally also be arranged such that their surface lies in the horizontal.
  • the upper side of the struts is preferably inclined by an angle in the range of 30° to 60° and preferably by an angle of 45°, for example, relative to the horizontal.
  • Each of these regions which the strut contacts can thus be angled by an angle of 45° relative to a center plane of the structural element so that two of these regions include an angle of 90° with one another.
  • the limbs have grooves in which the struts are displaceably received.
  • the limbs preferably form the outer edges of the structural element.
  • the groove is preferably arranged at a side of the limbs remote from the outer side.
  • guide elements are provided by means of which a functional element such as in particular a drawer or a tray or the like, which lies on the limbs, can be pulled out and pushed in, with the guide elements being arranged at the limbs and/or at the functional element.
  • These guide elements can be configured as drawer runners, roller bearings, etc.
  • the functional elements slide along on the surface of the limb when the functional elements are pulled out or pushed in.
  • connection means is received in a bore or in another mount of the end region of the frame element which is adjacent to the connection part or hinge.
  • a mount or the like in which the connection means is located can thus, for example, be provided in the end face of the frame element with which it is adjacent to the connection part or hinge.
  • the connection means is preferably releasably arranged in the mount when the frame element is not yet fixedly connected to the connection part or hinge.
  • the fixing element cooperates with a section of the connection means which has at least one slope relative to the longitudinal axis of the connection means, with this slope being aligned such that a movement of the frame element toward the connection part or hinge takes place during said cooperation.
  • the frame element is drawn toward the connection part or hinge, preferably up to the end face of the frame element at the connection part or hinge, in that the fixing element is brought into its fixing position. This can take place, for example, in that the fixing element is formed by a screw and the screw is tightened.
  • the screw can be screwed into a bore or threaded bore or another mount of the frame element so that the end region of the screw comes into contact with the connection means. If the end region of the screw or another section of the screw comes into contact with the connection means and preferably with said slope, the fixing element together with the frame element is pulled toward the connection part or hinge and is fixed by force transmission and/or by shape matching at the connection part or hinge.
  • connection part or hinge element The number of frame elements which are connected to one another by means of the connection part or hinge element is largely as desired. It is conceivable that three, four, six or eight end regions of frame elements are connected to the connection part or hinge. This list is exemplary and does not restrict the invention.
  • connection part or hinge has at least one recess or at least one projection which is in shape-matched connection with the end region of the frame element. It is ensured in this manner that a connection between the frame element and the connection part or hinge is established which is particularly loadable.
  • connection part or hinge can, for example, have a recess into which a projection or the frame element or its end region as such engages or, conversely, the connection part or hinge can have a projection which is connected to or contacts a recess of the frame element.
  • the structural element has horizontal and vertical limbs, with the horizontal limbs being displaceably guided relative to the vertical limbs or being able to be arranged at different positions of the vertical limbs. It is possible in this manner to adjust the height of the upper side of the structural element such as a working region, a hob etc.
  • the structural element in accordance with the invention can have exactly two or also more than two frame elements.
  • the external dimensions of the structural element can accordingly also be easily changed. If the two frame elements are of the same size and if they are at angle of 90° with respect to one another, a structural element which is square in cross-section results in a plan view. If the angle is changed, a structural element which is rectangular in cross-section results in a plan view. It is thus possible in a simple manner to provide differently dimensioned structural elements by setting the angle between the frame elements without a construction change of the structural element being required for this purpose.
  • connection part is not adjustable relative to the connection part.
  • a variation can be achieved by the replacement of the connection part and/or of the frame element or elements.
  • the structural element is of a modular configuration and is expandable, for example in that a plurality of structural elements are combined or grouped into a system, in particular into a furniture system. It is thus conceivable, for example, that a plurality of structural elements are arranged next to one another and/or above one another.
  • the structural elements in accordance with the present invention can be implemented in any desired sizes. It is thus conceivable to design the structural elements for floor units, for example, at a height typical for floor units and to design the structural elements correspondingly high for tall units, for example.
  • the frame elements are peripheral or that the frame elements are open at one or more sides, i.e. are not peripheral.
  • the term “frame element” is thus by no means to be understood restrictively such that only peripheral frames such as picture frames are covered by it although such an embodiment is also covered by the invention.
  • frame element covers any desired element which is directly or indirectly connected to the at least one connection part or hinge.
  • the frame element can—as stated—be peripheral, with the peripheral structure being able to be closed or also being able to have an interruption.
  • the frame element can also have the form of a lying or standing U, V or L, etc.
  • the frame element can be straight or also curved.
  • frame elements which each have a peripheral frame or shape or one of any desired other configuration or have one or more open sides. It is thus conceivable, for example, that the frame elements are open to the bottom or to the side and thus have the shape of a U, V, L, etc. which is standing, upside down or lying.
  • the frame elements are peripheral, i.e. are in the form of a closed frame.
  • Said frame elements which are connected to one another via the at least one connection part or hinge or at arranged thereat, can be in one part or multiple parts.
  • Each frame element can thus comprise exactly one part or also a plurality of parts.
  • connection parts or hinges can be connected to one another by means of a connection part or hinge or preferably by means of two connection parts or hinges and can optionally be pivotable relative to one another, with, in the case of two connection parts or hinges, them preferably being spaced apart in the vertical direction and/or in the horizontal direction. This applies both to standing and to lying structural elements.
  • connection part or hinge or the connection parts or hinges are arranged such that it/they lie(s) in the point of intersection of the planes formed by the two or more than two frame elements present.
  • connection part or hinge can in this respect, for example, be arranged in a central region of the frame element.
  • connection part or hinge end at the connection part or hinge and extend, for example, substantially in star shape or radially from the at least one connection part or hinge.
  • the at least one connection part or hinge is located in a central region of the frame element(s) and/or of the structural element.
  • the frame element or elements preferably has/have at least one horizontal limb, with the at least one connection part or hinge being arranged centrally in the horizontal limb or with the at least one connection part or hinge being arranged such that the horizontal limbs of the frame elements end at the connection part or hinge.
  • the frame elements have at least one horizontal limb and preferably two horizontal limbs as well as at least one vertical limb and preferably two vertical limbs which extend(s) between the horizontal limbs.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention thus comprises the frame elements having the shape of a rectangle or of a square or of a U whose inner region is hollow.
  • the background to this angled arrangement comprises a compensation for the different angles which the frame elements can include with one another being provided in this manner.
  • hinges must be directly or indirectly arranged at the frame elements. If the hinges were arranged directly at the frame elements respectively lying in a plane, an orientation would result in dependence on the angle between the frame elements which is dependent on said angle and which could have the result, for example, that the door fixed to the hinge projects from the frame element at an angle of 90° in its closed position and does not extend to the adjacent frame element in the closed position, which would be desirable per se.
  • At least one adapter is provided, in particular for fixing a hinge for a door or flap or for fixing a drawer runner or for fixing a wheel, and is fixed to the frame element by means of one or more fixing means.
  • This adapter preferably serves the setting of the correct angle, for example for the installation of a hinge for a door or flap.
  • This adapter can, for example, be fixed to the frame element by shape matching.
  • the frame element preferably has at least one groove as a fixing means in which at least one projection of the adapter is received in shape-matched manner, with provision preferably being made that the groove is configured in the form of a dovetail in cross-section and the adapter has a dove-tailed projection which is received in the groove of the frame element.
  • the named groove is located in the adapter and the projection in the frame element.
  • the frame element spans a plane and that an angled part of the frame element is arranged in a plane extending at an angle thereto, with the adapter or the named strut being arranged, for example, at this angled part of the frame element.
  • the adapter serves, for example, the fixing of a hinge or a drawer runner and the angled part of the frame element serves to ensure that the door or flap or the drawer is correctly aligned.
  • At least one element in particular at least one metal element, in particular at least one metal insert, is provided which extends between the angled region of the frame element and the adjacent region of the frame element and which fixes the angle by which the angled part of the frame element is angled with respect to the plane spanned by the frame element.
  • the angle by which the angled part of the frame element projects from the plane formed by the frame element can thus be set exactly by the metal element which is likewise angled.
  • the frame elements have at least one horizontal limb, preferably two horizontal limbs, as well as at least one vertical limb, preferably two vertical limbs, which extend between the horizontal limbs, with the fixing means for the adapter(s) being located at the horizontal limb(s) and/or at the vertical limb(s).
  • the fixing means are located at the frame elements at both sides or only at one side.
  • the limbs or struts extending from the top to the bottom do not extent vertically, but are rather inclined relative to the vertical.
  • the transversely extending limbs or struts also do not have to extend in the horizontal, but can rather also be inclined relative to it. It is thus conceivable, for example, that the perpendicular struts or limbs can project further in the upper connection part or joint or hinge in a further variant than in the lower connection part or joint or hinge, or vice versa.
  • An inclined frontal situation thus arises. It is necessary for this purpose that the intermediate adapter or the above-named angled part of the frame element has to be cropped both in the x direction and in the y direction in the corner region and when not equal to 90°.
  • At least one flap or door is provided by means of which at least one side of the structural element is closable. It is also conceivable that one or more drawers and/or containers and/or storage shelves are located in the space spanned by the frame elements.

Since a different angle is desired, an angle of 90° in the embodiment shown here, the vertical limbs V are angled such that the desired angle between them results.
